    Okay I'm not one to write reviews but this was actually just not good. The avocado felt like mush and everything tasted like it was thawed from frozen. Idk the place was mid.

    Second time eating here, very pleased! This time I got a miso soup and firecracker roll which was awesome! My waitress was very attentive. The restaurant is clean and has a relaxed vibe. Good choice for lunch or dinner if stopping in Westminster.

    Good food, great location. I just remembered that every roll i ate fell apart bc it wasn't sealed well.

    Veggie Tempura

    Happy hour. The good: super fast! My specialty cocktail was delicious and half price. The bad: I ordered a fish roll and it literally came out in one minute so I know it was pre-rolled and tasted at least a day old. The tempura was lightly battered and yet still greasy. The cucumber salad was one note vinegar. The server was quick and courteous. Happy hours are supposed to sell you on the food so you come back for dinner and I won't be doing that.

    Poor sushi for the price, better options elsewhere. Service was fine, drinks were fine. Not worth it

    Looking for a new sushi bar to check out in early January we decided to visit Matsumotto Sushi &…read moreGrill based on their Yelp reviews and photos. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening to full restaurant which was a great sign. You also want to see your sushi bar moving a lot of product so you know their seafood will be fresh. Lucky for us there were two seats at the bar open so we were seated right away. We started off the meal with of course some Sapporo and premium sake along with a tempura app. I've not found great tempura in the area and was pleasantly surprised with their preparation. We then ordered a Chirashi bowl (wife) and assorted nigiri for myself. The chirashi was okay, decent but not anything amazing. Some of the fish cuts were a little odd like they were the trimmings from the end of the filet. My nigiri was solid and I appreciate the fish to rice ratio was perfect as lot of other places make their sushi with way too much rice to stretch the dish. The amaebi or sweet shrimp was fresh and heads were nicely fried and tasty though I wish they fried it a minute longer. Overall a solid sushi bar tucked away from the main road but definitely worth a visit!

    We drove all the way to Aurora for some ramen, and when we got there the place was packed. So we…read moreheaded back home to try out Matsumotto. I am so glad we did because this place is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Once we were inside we were greeted by friendly staff and seated, cold glasses of water came alongside the menus. We decided on some sushi, a plate of Shrimp Yakisoba, and Kobe Beef Fried Rice. The fried rice was so delicious. The best I've had in a long time, the last time I had fried rice this good was when my friend's Japanese grandmother made it for us. That was over 15 years ago. I am also a big fan of Yakisoba, and this Yakisoba was also one of the best I've had in a long time. The sushi was excellent too. The inside is decorated with a nice modern feel, and it's clean and tidy. I love the feel in here. People are just talking, eating, it feels like a true neighborhood joint where there's regulars. I have a feeling I am going to become a regular here too.

They have good selection of classic and special rolls and their sashimi cuts are always thick and fresh. Along with sushi, we enjoy the hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), the miso black cod and on occasion, the New York strip black rock grill. My kids love the calamari and all the items on the kids menu. We've never had a bad experience here over the years that we've been customers. We've also never had bad sushi, whether it's dine in or take out. They also make a great sushi party tray, which I order often. The space is smaller and the dining area is often packed, but it doesn't feel crowded. Service has always been good, with the owner checking up on customers often.

Maybe it was a rough day but our server was annoyed. They have a decent menu and their lunch specials are okay and reasonably priced. However the sushi was pretty mid. Each roll we ordered was wrapped in large amounts of rice with not a lot of fish. It's still quite expensive for what you get especially if you want unagi. Can't say we'll be back since we prefer Yonsei which is nearby but I can see why it's popular. This location does seem different than the one in Cherry Creek. The one in cherry creek seems like a higher quality selection of fish so possibly it's based on location.
